I'm not sure where to draw the line between 'best' album and 'favourite' album. I chose Todd Rundgren's 'Something/Anything' because it has been my favourite album since I bought it in 1974. That's a long time to stay up there. There isn't a single song that I don't like on it, and I can only say that about AHDN as far as The Beatles are concerned. But does that make it the best album ever? I can also say similar things about Weller's 'Stanley Road', and 'Heavy Soul'.
I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
It's a difficulte distinction BlueMeanie between best ever album and favourite album , some on my longer list i've loved for years and they never appear on these best lists that you see . Electric Warrior by T.rex is a brilliant album and i've never seen that in the top 100 of these lists .
I think Electric Warrior is often overlooked because T-Rex are often - unfairly, in my opinion - thought of as just another 70's glam band, and placed alongside the likes of The Sweet, Slade, and Gary Glitter. And they all had more successful chart careers than T-Rex. But it is an excellent album.

Agree BlueMeanie it is an excellent album two knockout singles in "Get it On " and "Jeepster " and stunning album tracks like Mambo Sun , Cosmic Dancer and life's A Gas . And Tony Visconti's production is brilliant Kate Bush's Hounds Of Love rightly appears on these lists but ive always thought Electric Warrior is as good if not better than an album like Hounds Of Love , i think there is a lot of musical snobbery around when such polls are drawn up .
Paul Simon - Still Crazy After All These Years Stevie Wonder - Innervision
I totally agree. "Innervisions" was my favourite album for a long time, now I'm enjoying more "Songs in the Key of Life", I really think is one of the greatest albums ever made. "Still Crazy After All These Years" is amazing. "My Little Town" is my favourite song from that album.
I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't eat trash... I work out hard everyday and have a healthy life. And I'm proud of it.
now that's a great album! i always think it's an album that got lost in the 60's but kind of gain regonition in recent years.
Yeah, I absolutely love it. Just for a comparison, it plays like 'Revolver' compared to 'Please Please Me' when it comes to the Zombies other stuff. Its so far away and better than the pop stuff they were during prior. I've been wanting to get 'RIP' by the Zombies also but its really steep as its an import. I'll break down eventually.
Well - here's the "list" from Memorial Day weekend (songs this time instead of albums), and might I say, what a disappointing list!!! I'm glad I have a CD player/cassette player in my car!!
Oh, man! I haven't heard most of those songs in ages. What fun!

Now, my reaction is to immediately start dancing to these song titles. These are my people!
